Character: Humbert Humbert

If a violin string can suffer, I have suffered as a string.

... and finally, when I had completely enmeshed with the heat radiating darling this network of ethereal caresses, I dared stroke her leg, at the gooseberry hairs along the tibia.

Suddenly we were in love with each other - madly, clumsily, shamelessly, agonizingly; I would even add the hopeless...

... we are inclined to endow our friends with the stability properties and the fate of that literary characters acquire in the reader's mind.

Floor only the servant of art.

Faking, I thought, pretending to be right, to evade my caresses; I burned a passion, but the poor girl began very tedious whining, when I got to her.

Lolita is so close and yet so woefully unattainable, and so to love her, to love on the eve of a new era when, according to my estimates, the Volkhov, it would have to stop being a nymphet, stop torturing me.

From perfect fiery vision was perfect and my wild soul for the vision was out of reach, and because bliss could not prevent the consciousness of prohibition, gravitated over achievable. Who knows, maybe the true essence of my "perversion" depends not so much from direct charm, clear, clean, young, forbidden, magical beauty of girls as from the consciousness of invulnerability captivating position in which the infinite perfection fill the gap between what little they offered, and all that promises, all that lurks in marvelous colors distant depths.

But who would upset such a lucid dear? Did I mention anywhere that her bare hand was observed Osmankoy the vaccination of smallpox? I loved her hopelessly? She was only fourteen years old?

I went in the same day from one pole of insanity to another.

How queer life is! We strive to alienate precisely those forces of rock, which we would like to appease.

But beauty also is not a criterion, but the vulgarity (or at least what is called vulgarity in one way or other medium) does not exclude definitely the presence of those mysterious devil - the fabulously strange grace, the elusive, changeable, useability, insinuating charms, - which distinguish a nymphet from peers, much more dependent on the spatial world of one-time phenomena than weightless Islands zavorožennogo time where Lolita plays with her like that.
